Format
This event will feature talks representing cutting-edge research.
The goal of this event is to bring top specialists in geometric
group theory to Carleton to introduce graduate students and researchers
in group theory, low-dimensional topology, analysis, algebraic geometry
and related areas to this rapidly growing field. Algebra Day has
been an annual, usually one day, event since 1969.
Schedule
The talks will be in the Herzberg Laboratories,
Macphail Room, HP 4351 at Carleton University.
Coffee, lunch and Reception will be served in the Board room, HP
